The Bruins are 42-17-9 and second in the Atlantic Division, four points ahead of the third-place Toronto Maple Leafs, thanks in part to a run that's tied for the 12th-longest point streak in NHL history and second-longest in their history behind 23 games from Dec. 22, 1940-Feb. 23, 1941 (15-0 with eight ties). Boston also swept a homestand of at least six games for the second time in its 95-year history (6-0-0 from Feb. 27-March 10, 2018) and has won 10 in a row on home ice for the 11th time and first since Oct. 25, 2008-Jan. 1, 2009 (14-0-0).
Krejci is the second Bruins player in as many games to score the winning goal in the final minute of the third period after Patrice Bergeron scored with 6.7 seconds left to defeat the Florida Panthers 4-3 on March 7. Boston is the fourth team in NHL history to score a winning goal in the final minute in consecutive games and first since the Detroit Red Wings from April 15-17, 2006.
Tuukka Rask (17 saves) is 16-0-3 with a 1.94 goals-against average, .929 save percentage and three shutouts in his past 19 games since Dec. 29. His NHL career high for consecutive games with at least one point is 21 set from Nov. 29, 2017-Feb. 2, 2018 (19-0-2).
